The unsaturated zone is the medium through which pollutants move
from the soil surface to groundwater. Polluting substances are
subjected to complex physical, chemical and biological
transformations while moving through the unsaturated zone and their
displacement depends on the transport properties of the water-air
porous medium system. Pollution caused by human activities,
agriculture, and industry, has brought about a growing interest in
the role of the unsaturated zone in groundwater pollution. Due to
the complexity and the multidisciplinary nature of the subject, it
is being investigated by specialists from various scientific
disciplines, such as soil physicists, chemists, biologists, and
environmental engineers. This state of affairs has motivated the
initiative taken by the Water Quality Commissions of IUPAC (the
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) and IAHS (the
International Association of Hydrological Sciences) to convene an
international workshop, which was organized and hosted by the
Institute of Soils and Water of the Agricultural Research
Organization in Bet Dagan, Israel in March 1983. The lecturers at
the workshop were an invited group of specialists who are engaged
in studying the many facets of the unsaturated zone, and the
present book is a selection of their presentations. Each chapter of
the book relates to a different aspect of the unsaturated zone."
